Holy mother of God. I am looking at the Coachella line up for this weekend and can’t believe it. There are so so many bands performing it kind of blows my mind. It’s like they took the ultimate playlist form the past couple years and threw it into a giant three day mash-up of live music.
It is really hard for me to pick my top ten. I mean it is really hard. So here is a bunch of top tens:
Top Bands I would go out of my way to see:
1. The Chemical Brothers (Saw them at Coachella in 2005. They are just so good live!) p.s., all of their videos are soooo sick. Take some time to watch a few:
2. Sleigh Bells (Because I rocked out to this the whole past year)

3. A-Track (Ummm, cause you know that he’s going to kill it!!!!!!!)
4. Green Velvet (Because they have made me shake and pop for over a decade)
5. Cut Copy (Because I have some really good memories to this music and i kind of like their new album)
6. Arcaid Fire (I know they’ve played Coachella a bunch but I’ve never seen them play. Another band that I have some great memories to)
7. Tame Impala (because it would be nice to smoke a lil and kick back in the sun)
8. Crystal Castles (Because I want to see Alice dance around and Ethan makes some sick beats.
9. Duck Sauces (Because of the song ‘Anyway’ Come on. Arman Van Heldon and A-Track. You know its going to be good)
